to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon
but as the Sinless One.

with all who mourn their sins,
to speak the vital sentence
with which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
our utmost woe and loss,
for us and our salvation
to die upon the cross.
So when the dove descended
on him, the Son of Man,
the hidden years had ended,
the age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us
to keep the vows we make;
this very day invade us,
and ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most:
to share the resurrection
that leads to Pentecost. Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

let your good Word in doubt and strife
be in us strongly burning,

and live in love and holy faith,

by your power Christ confessing,
we will cherish all your blessing.

till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the pow'r of human telling;

till it become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY

From a creature's lips may claim;
